Sarah Palin: ‘America, we are so screwed’

“I shouldn’t have prefaced this post with a warning to hang on because ‘we’re in for a helluva’ ride,’” Palin wrote on her Facebook page on Thursday, referencing the introduction of her piece. “Sorry. That was crass and inaccurate. I should have just said about Obama’s judgment and unchecked power, ‘America, we are so screwed.’”

Benghazi mom: Susan Rice a ‘liar’

Romney disappointed in Rice pick

That assessment came as the former GOP vice presidential nominee outlined her opposition to two new White House picks: U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice has been tapped to serve as national security adviser to President Barack Obama, and scholar and human rights activist Samantha Power will succeed Rice at the United Nations.

“Information about Obama’s new picks will be revealed in coming days,” Palin warned. “Pay attention to who they are; what they stand for; and what their records, associations, and statements reveal about them and their intentions. Especially consider Obama’s chosen ones as evidence of his skewed thinking as he ‘fundamentally transforms’ our great nation.”

She also bashed Power’s husband, Harvard scholar and former White House “regulatory czar” Cass Sunstein, as “the very, very strange Obama pick for an early ‘czar’ position who wowed us with his numerous bizarre claims … But Mrs. Cass Sunstein’s character judgment in choosing her life partner is the least of America’s worries,” she continued, jabbing again at Power and pointing to work in conservative publications that question her record.
